07MayCGT Reviews Henry Clays At Viper Room


The Henry Clay People @ The Viper Room (5/5/08) Photo by Mouse

Fancy my luck - This past Monday The Henry Clay People AND Mezzanine Owls were playing two stellar shows on either side of town. I had to make a tough decision and missed Henry Clay People’s show.

BUT thanks to Mouse at Classical Geek Theater’s lengthy review loaded with tons of photos I feel like I was there. Joey apparently got 2/3’s of The Viper Room crowd to do rock jumps during the band’s epic final song. West of La Brea that’s like trying to part the red sea. Joey you deserve a medal.

Read the entire review right here.

The Henry Clay People will play with Le Switch and Division Day next Monday at The Echo while Mezzanine Owls play night 2 of their residency with Eagle And Talon, We Barbarians. and The Black Kites (head to head again!). May 19th you can catch both JAXART bands at Spaceland w/ Eli Paperboy Reed and Lovelikefire.

07MayWeb In Front Mezzanine Owls Live Review

Web In Front - The newest kick ass addition to the LA music blog scene, just posted a fantastic review of night one of Mezzanine Owls residency at Spaceland! You won’t want to miss next week’s lineup of We Barbarians, Black Kites, and Eagle and Talon.

“…the bands created an L.A. inversion of ‘60s pop, ’80s shoegaze, and ‘00s indie which became a bloody valentine of noise that left ears both endlessly ringing and relentlessly giddy.”
